Title: Game and Variations: Hatschi Patschi
Body: Recently Improving Early Language Programs listserv users shared a well-known game, Hatschi Patschi, and variations of it. Here are some of their ideas: The kids sit in a circle. They can sit on little rugs on the floor, on index cards or chairs. There is one less spot than number of students. One student goes "away" to a corner where they can't see the circle and you give one student a little object that represents Hatschi Patschi. It could be any funny little thing, a cute eraser or whatever. When ready, call the student back. She asks a pre-determined question, whatever you're studying at that time. - Comment vas-tu? - Qu'est-ce que tu as aujourd'hui? - Quel est ton fruit préféré? She asks each student individually until getting to the one with the object, who says "Hatschi Patschi!" Then everyone gets up and tries to find a new place to sit. Someone doesn't get a place, and it starts all over. Play a few times and then tell the student who doesn't get a place that they will start the game next time, so you can end the game. I tell the kids "no running" and that as soon as anyone gets hurt or says "ow" or any hint of a scuffle, the game is over. That usually takes care of unnecessary roughness. If you have a big group you can also make a rule that they can't take the place directly next to the one they are at. Kohler, M. [nandu] Hatschi Patschi. Improving Early Language Programs (nandu@caltalk.cal.org, 8 Oct 2010). --- I play a very similar game with my students, but is easier and requires no props at all. All of the students sit in a circle of chairs (or on little rugs or cushions). There has to be one less seat than the number of students playing. I usually play too. The person in the middle says something that applies to them: Me gusta jugar voleibol. Yo tengo dos hermanas. Mi pelicula favorita es ___ Those to whom the sentence also applies (also have brown hair, like volleyball, etc.) have to change seats by crossing the circle (they cannot return to the same seat or move to right or left). I like it because it requires them to think on their feet and come up with original statements in the TL. The person left without a seat (the slowest mover) is stuck in the middle and comes up with the next statement. Carrillo, C. Re: [nandu] Hatschi Patschi. Improving Early Language Programs (nandu@caltalk.cal.org, 8 Oct 2010). --- I have played this game with vocabulary pictures. Students can either say a category or word in Spanish. There is more than one photo of the type of item (for categories) or 3+ pictures. To keep it communicative, I use a sentence. For example, if we are practicing landforms, I would say … Voy a___ (la selva) OR Visito a ___ OR Busco ___ OR Veo ___ etc. The students with those vocab items would move and try to find a seat. With the visual you have a different variation and this might work better for the lower levels where more structure is good. Candace Sherwood, Jordan Creek Elementary in West Des Moines, IA. RE: [nandu] Hatschi Patschi. Improving Early Language Programs (nandu@caltalk.cal.org, 8 Oct 2010). --- Since Hatschi Patschi is a German game with German-like spelling, it might be fun to make up another name in your target language when you play it in another language. Curtain, H. Re: [nandu] Hatschi Patschi. Improving Early Language Programs listserv (nandu@caltalk.cal.org, 8 Oct 2010). --- Because HP has a q&a format, it is great for informal assessment. Hatschi Patschi does not require any props though you can use them. You can just tell someone they are Hatschi Patschi by some signal. It's fun to do that secretly so that everyone does not know when HP is about to happen. Kohler, M. Re: [nandu] Hatschi Patschi. Improving Early Language Programs (nandu@caltalk.cal.org, 9 Oct 2010). --- See another description of the Hatschi Patschi game at the useful Sprachhexen website, http://www.sprachhexen.com/teaching/lesson_tips/games/misc/hatschi_patschi.htm
